What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a fixed prosthesis that completely covers a damaged and/or devitalized tooth. This restorative solution protects the remaining tooth structure while restoring the natural appearance of the tooth. In our dental clinic in Chavannes-près-Renens, we offer different types of crowns adapted to the specific needs of each patient.
Types of Crowns Available
Emax All-Ceramic Crowns
Offering optimal aesthetics, pure ceramic crowns are ideal for anterior teeth. They perfectly reproduce the natural translucency of teeth. Our partner laboratories use digital technology for maximum precision.
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia represents the cutting-edge material in modern dentistry. These crowns combine exceptional strength with natural aesthetics, without a metallic appearance. They are biocompatible and perfectly suitable for patients allergic to metals.
Metal-Ceramic Crowns
These crowns combine the strength of metal with the aesthetics of ceramic. They are recommended for parafunctional habits like bruxism.
Indications for a Dental Crown
- Severely decayed teeth where a filling is no longer sufficient
- Devitalized teeth requiring additional protection
- Cracked or fractured teeth
- Aesthetic improvement of discolored or malformed teeth
- Replacement of old defective restorations
Dental Bridges: Solution for Missing Teeth
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthesis that replaces one or more missing teeth by relying on adjacent teeth. This solution restores chewing function and smile aesthetics without resorting to implantology.
Bridge Traditionnel
Relies on two pillar teeth prepared on each side of the edentulous space.
Bridge Cantilever
Used when only one pillar tooth is available.
Bridge Collé (Maryland)
Less invasive option with bonded wings.
Advantages of Bridges
- Rapid restoration of chewing function
- Prevention of adjacent teeth displacement
- Maintenance of facial structure
- Fixed and comfortable solution
- Natural aesthetic result
